FARRAH CHECKING OUT OUR WILDFLOWER GARDENS...

If you could choose only one food, it's this...Nothing nutritionally comes close to quinoa.

Not everyone can pronounce quinoa (it's keen-wah), and even among those who can, many are asking: is it a seed, a grain, a fruit? But that hasn't stopped it from blasting into mainstream popularity, going far beyond its former status as a hippie food that vegans ate for its high protein count. People say there are super-foods out there but I have a hard time seeing anything with a nutritional profile like quinoa. It's got everything from fatty essential acids, protein [as much as milk], complex carbohydrates, fibre, vitamins and minerals. Nothing comes close to quinoa."

NASA is considering using quinoa for its in-space program.If someone put a gun to your head and said, 'You can only eat one food for the rest of your life,' and you had one second to choose a food that would keep you strong and healthy for the rest of your life, you'd be miles ahead of anybody if you picked quinoa."

Hello brynI haven't heard of quinoa over here. It is possible that it goes under a different name and it is also possible that I am just not on the ball. Either way, I will check it out. Thanks for the information. God bless you bryn.

Hi bryn. I have been tagged with a Catholic meme and I have to tag five others. I am tagging you so pop over to my blog (copy the link then click search and it will take you right there). God bless you brynhttp://lastwelshmartyr.blogspot.com/

You are free to decide where and with whom you stand. You do not, however, have the right to try to change the Catholic Church to suit your opinions or wishes. No matter how brilliant you are, you are not above the Magisterium. No matter how persuasive the political position, you cannot ignore the law of the Church and the Natural Law. Doctrine and Orthodoxy may be distasteful words in this age of personal freedoms, but if you call yourself Catholic, you need to know what Catholic doctrine actually says and follow it.
